Tamarix
TAMARIX GALLICA.--Common Tamarisk. India to Europe. This shrub often in
favoured maritime places reaches to a height of fully 10 feet, with long
and slender branches, and spikes of pretty, rosy-pink flowers produced
at the end of summer. For sea-side planting, it is an invaluable shrub,
and on account of its feathery appearance and wealth of showy flowers is
well worthy of being included in our list of ornamental and useful
shrubs.
T. PARVIFLORA (_syns T. africana_ and _T. tetrandra_), South-eastern
Europe and Levant, is a nearly allied species, with white, pinky-tinged
flowers.
